I created these round label tags for my 2.5" round punch. You can find a punch that size at most hobby/craft stores or online. Mine is from EKSuccess and I LOVE it!! If you don't have a punch, simple cut around the dashed circle.

To create my mixture, I just bough the strawberry lemonade mix from Costco. It was easy and inexpensive! Plus, due to it's bulk size {thank you Costco} we were able to fill up three jars, plus have a good amount left over for ourselves! 

I used pint sized Mason Jars from Target and scrap fabric to create my container. I simply layed the fabric on top of the canning lid and screwed the top on over my fabric. Then using pinking shears I trimmed the excess fabric to create a fun top! 

Hey there! I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far! I picked out some fabrics yesterday for a car seat canopy. I'm hoping to start working on it tomorrow so I can get the tutorial posted this week... as well as another baby blanket tutorial. 

As long as this little one doesn't decide to come early, I have LOTS more ideas for tutorials coming up as part of my continuing Nesting Series. If you have any suggestions, be sure to leave me a comment. Make sure you check out the Nesting Series tab at the top of my page to see all the fun tutes that are already posted!

I'm putting together teacher appreciation gifts this week {ya, I know... it may seem a little late for that -- but my LO goes to a year round preschool, and this is her last week, so I'm just doing it now} and it will include a free printable that you can pin now and save until next year if you want!

I have this annoying  useful space above my desk area that was in need of some major decor HELP!!


{Don't mind all the clutter and junk -- really, just pretend it's not there... PLEASE!?! Since my shop is closed I am very slowly working to organize and de-junk my crafting space. But lately the organizing has been put on the back burner for my terrible NESTING!}

I tried being creative a while back -- by settling on an easy project -- and created a fabric focal point. Over time I have grown to really dislike it. It is nice ... don't get me wrong... but I'm looking to modernize my craft room and make it a functional, beautiful space for me!!

I have been l♥ving all of the Keep Calm signs that are popping up in stores and online! They can get a little pricey though, so rather than purchase the size I need for this space, I opted to create some custom Keep Calm signs for my craft room! This way I could keep within the color scheme that I am working to create in this space, as well as use the wording that works best for me!!



I created these 3 signs using various clip art images from the internet and photoshop!


I printed mine on heavy duty 110 lb. cardstock at the highest resolution I could!! Here's how they came out:



I test printed my colors to make sure that they would print at exactly what I wanted before printing my big signs! Always a smart idea if you are looking for SPECIFIC colors!!

Want to get your hands on some for your own space?!?! I made a couple extra ones. Please be sure to become a follower of my blog -- if you haven't already. 

Here are all of the Keep Calm signs I have created:

Here's another pic just because I love how they turned out!!!
{again... don't mind the mess... it's next on my to do list... I promise!}
